This video analyzes the current state of the US ammunition industry, highlighting a significant downturn following the 2020-2022 boom. Major manufacturers like Vista Outdoor are undergoing restructuring, Remington faces challenges from past bankruptcies, and Winchester relies heavily on government contracts to offset softer commercial sales. The market is increasingly influenced by imported ammunition and a more price-sensitive consumer base, leading to oversupply and promotional pricing.
This video details a water drop test conducted on 11 commercial .410 slugs to assess their in-air stability. The test involved dropping slugs into a 14-inch water column and observing their trajectory. Results indicated significant performance differences, with Brenneke and Winchester Super X slugs performing best, while others like Sterling, Federal, and BPS slugs exhibited poor stability, tumbling, or sideways flight.
